Sylvanie-Imagn Images The Vegas Golden Knights have elected to make some moves with their front office, appointing John Penhollow as the team’s new President of Business Operations, and Kerry Bubolz will transition to a new Chief Civic Affairs and Government Relations Officer role. The organization announced the move on Tuesday, highlighting their excitement with the addition in a press release. “We are thrilled to welcome John Penhollow to the organization as our new President of Business Operations for the Vegas Golden Knights and our Nevada-based sports properties and venues,” said Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and Owner Bill Foley. “John is a transformative leader whose vision and expertise will advance our business teams to new heights. His experience leading business strategy, revenue strategy and organizational development will be invaluable as we enter this exciting new chapter in our club’s history. His impressive record of success with revenue generation and growth aligns well with our core mission of ‘Always Advance, Never Retreat.’ Prior to joining the Golden Knights, Penhollow most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer of the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings. With the Golden Knights, Penhollow will oversee all business operations and lead all business strategy for the Vegas Golden Knights and Foley Entertainment Group’s Nevada-based sports and venue properties, which includes the Henderson Silver Knights, Vegas Knight Hawks, City National Arena, America First Center and Lee’s Family Forum. Penhollow has been a key figure in the NFL for quite some time. With the Vikings, he "oversaw all revenue-generating activities for the club including ticket sales as well as corporate partnerships and strategy. He played a critical role in the Vikings’ efforts to design and open two best-in-class facilities: U.S. Bank Stadium, which opened in 2016 and hosted Super Bowl LII in 2018, and Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, which opened in 2018. He worked a total of 12 seasons with the Vikings, where he originally started as the team’s Director of New Stadium Partnerships in 2013 before being elevated to Vice President of Corporate and Technology Partnerships in 2015. During his tenure, Penhollow and his revenue teams led the NFL in both performance and innovation while creating a world-class fan experience and championship-caliber culture," according to the Golden Knights' press release [https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/news/john-penhollow-named-president-of-business-operations-for-the-vegas-golden-knights]. Bubolz has done a terrific job with the Golden Knights as well, helping the organization take advantage of the Las Vegas flair and turn the Golden Knights into a strong business. Working together with Penhollow, the Golden Knights are on a fast track to becoming one of the best-run organizations in the NHL if they aren't already.
